James Fenimore Cooper -diary note

"Saturday, January 1st, 1848. — Read St. John. No church. Weather very mild, though snow fell in the night. Walking very bad, and I paid no visits out of the family. Had ***, ***, ***, ***, and ***, at dinner. A very merry evening with the young people. Played chess with my wife. Wrote a little in 'Oak Openings' to begin the year with."

W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM

“There are three rules for writing a novel.
Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.”

DANIEL BOONE

"I can't say as ever I was lost, but I was bewildered once for three days."

BEN JOHNSON-Cowboy Actor

"I don't have to say four letter words around women and kids to make myself a name."

ROBERT FROST

“No tears in the writer,
no tears in the reader.
No surprise in the writer,
no surprise in the reader.”

LOUIS L’ AMOUR

“Start writing, no matter what. The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on.”

HERMAN MELVILLE—AUTHOR (MOBY DICK)

“To produce a mighty book, you must choose a mighty theme. No great and enduring volume can ever be written on the flea, though many there be that have tried it.”

KENNETH ROBERTS-NORTHWEST PASSAGE

She turned to Sam. “An artist needs encouragement, Mr. Livermore. If he’s a good artist, he’s never satisfied with what he does. He’s forever doing over and doing over, and feeling uncertain about what he’s done; so he oughtn’t to have worries over and above his work. What he most needs is peace of mind—and I’ve done all I could to see that Langdon had it.”
Anne Towne, wife of Langdon Towne
